An interesting story. Hermione...seems to be rather accepting. Accepting of her parent's deaths, accepting of these amateurs (I would not call her an amateur due to her training for the last few years), accepting of magic, accepting of most everything. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
Author Feedback: Hermione is a very intelligent young woman, and I assure you she has reasoned out all of these things to the best of her ability.

She accepts her parents' deaths because she realizes that there is no future in mourning them while people are trying to kill her. However, just because you don't see her crying over them doesn't mean that she isn't.

As for Harry and Ron, she really has nothing better to do with her time; she's too young to go into the business for herself, she would probably have a great deal of difficulty finding another job, and she couldn't possibly survive as an unemployed bachelorette.

The magic thing is even easier; the possible explanations are: either they're telling the truth, or they planned an elaborate charade involving trapdoors and illusory projectors in a castle many centuries old in the time that they had between arriving in Germany and revealing it to her. WHich makes more sense, I ask you?

For all other cases, she is a mature and professional young woman who realizes that losing her head at every unusual situation will not help them get the spear and get back to England alive.

But I do think I'll touch on Hermione's feelings for her family. Maybe not next chapter, but soon.

I am glad you seem to be enjoying my story so far, and I hope that the remainder is as interesting.

Now that was an interesting deveopment, but all stories need bit of unexpected narrative. I wonder if the portal will close again once our heroes pass through. Hopefully the Deaters will find it a little difficult to follow them onto whichever plane of existence this one it is ...

An excellent continuance opening the way for more wonderment and adventure.

Author Feedback: *shrug* I try. Whoever designed that castle was incredibly unusual. Inscriptions of semi-modern riddles translated in almost archaic languages, a Druid standing stone bearing a Celtic fertility symbol that, when activated by a Celtic ritual carves an English inscription of a Biblical verse and a Judaic interpretation of the God of Abraham, at the centre of a labyrinth structure of design from sixth century Britain, within a German castle dating back to at least the start of the eleventh century. An unusual combination, to say the least.

You'll have to wait for the next chapter to learn more, but I will tell you that they remain on Earth as we know it; there will be no dimension-jumping in this story.

I hope the continuing adventure continues to live up to its standards.

Thanks so much for the update! I just got really excited about Indiana Jones again after seeing the new movie, and I love how you mix it with HP. I can't wait to read more so please update again soon!
Author Feedback: Thanks bookworm! It's nice to have a fan.

As I've said a couple of times, I'll update as soon as I can. Because I work in a rotation cycle, and I have slightly less stories in that cycle at the moment, it shouldn't be too long before I update again.

After just watching Indy 4, this was a great treat. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Author Feedback: I hope Speilberg and Lucas don't make my stuff seem too bad.

I should update soon. I can't really give a direct timeframe, but I'll work as fast as I can.

Man was i lucky to stumble upon this.

Its me agian. When i accidentally clicked the link for this story i thought that i wouldnt enjoy it but gave it a shot anyway. Man was i lucky. Firstly you got a good start there. Lots of action and what not. and instantly there were persons who got killed already. plus the fact that hermione did not know that she was a witch was a fantastic twist. One thing i noticed if Hermione did not know she was a witch but still had the power of being one then she "COULD HAVE" done accidental magic so any explanation for that? And plus didnt hogwarts letters go directly to the person they are adressed to?

-man did i make a good mistake:

Author Feedback: I believe it was Albert Eintsein who said that a failure is just an opportunity in disguise.

I am very glad that you are enjyoing this one, despite your initial doubts.

I fully understand your first point, and I have a ready-made explanation. Refer to my general explanation of magic in FA (chapter 10 or 11) for the backstory, but my hypothesis is that whatever causes magic matures as the person ages. Therefore, as they become older they are less prone to accidental magic. Anything she had produced earler in life could have been passed off as something to do with the tomb they were presently exploring.

As for the second, I can offer no explanation but that not even Hogwarts owls are infallible.

Nice chapter. Things are progressing nicely. I can't wait to read more and see how you play out your plot. On another note, have you seen the new Indy movie? I saw it on Friday, so I am just curious.
Author Feedback: Thanks Elivania, glad it's continuing to live up to its standards. There isn't a great deal left. They get the spear soon, and then they need to get it back to England (something they never show in the movies btw)

I actually saw it last night, a few hours after posting this chapter. I was going to hold off and see what quotes I could toss in, but decided it wasn't worth it.

Liked the movie, but I explain that more fully on the forums.

Author Feedback: Thanks bookworm! I'm working on another chapter right now, so it shouldn't be too long until an update.

How unique!! I think this one is pretty good, if not even funny. For Hermione not to realise she's magical is a bit of a stretch. I know Harry was unaware until Hagrid told him, but Hermione is much smarter than that. Good start though.
Author Feedback: Undoubtably she is, but it has always been my experience that people turn the other cheek to strange occurrences; pass them off as more mundane than they are. It's just human nature.

Please please please update soon. I love it. It's very interesting.Is the answer to the first riddle death?
Author Feedback: I'll try, I promise you that. As soon as I can churn out a few other chapters for some other stories, this one will be updated.

Interestingly no, it isn't. That is a good one though. But for the actual answer...I think I'm going to leave you hanging there I'm afraid. *shrug* Sorry

Argh, so short!

OK, now you know I'll have to read the next chapter.



And I have to make this a short review because my little one is well enough to go to school tomorrow and she is attempting to escape her bedtime yet again.... get back in that bed you little monkey... yeah I saw that! my own Indy type of adventure to capture the evasive monkey and get her back in bed.

this story is getting more interesting with each update.

This was really good! I'm really glad that you took the time to actually look stuff up for your chapters! I know that some people dont and used to be one of them but I am getting out of that habit... slowly... But having people like you do that makes me want to do it even more. There is nothing better than reading a story that has facts in them!

I cant wait to read more!
Author Feedback: Thanks Angel! Personally I have to say that it is a prerogative of all authors to ensure that their story is as good as it can be. It's good that you're working to improve, don't give up!
